2.2 Review Questions<br />

1. A policeman travelling 60 km/h spots a speeder<br />

ahead, so he accelerates his vehicle at a steady rate<br />

of 2.22 m/s 2 for 4.00 s, at which time he catches up<br />

with the speeder.<br />

(a) How fast was the policeman travelling in m/s?<br />

(b) How fast is the police car travelling after 4.00 s?<br />

Give your answer in both m/s and km/h.<br />

(c) If the speeder has a constant velocity, sketch the<br />

motion of both the speeder and police car on a<br />

speed vs. time graph below.<br />

2. A motorbike accelerates at a constant rate from a<br />

standing start. After 1.2 s, it is travelling 6.0 m/s. How<br />

much time will have elapsed (starting from rest)<br />

before the bike is moving with a speed of 15.0 m/s?<br />

3. The graph below shows lines representing speed<br />

vs. time for an accelerating aircraft, prepared by<br />

observers at two different locations on the runway.<br />
